Sewage in your home or building needs quick, careful handling. Keep people and pets away, avoid walking through it, and don't run fans that spread contaminated droplets.
Sewage can carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites. We remove wastewater, contaminated materials, and harmful residue from properties in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Our Quick 1-Hr Local Response helps start inspection and safety planning quickly. We provide sewage removal, cleaning, disinfection, and drying for floors, walls, and belongings.
Sewer Backup and Sewage Removal for Minneapolis Properties
We first look for the source, such as a backed-up toilet, floor drain, sewer line, or failed plumbing connection. A plumber may need to repair it before cleanup ends.
We remove standing wastewater with extraction equipment or pumps. Then we separate items that can be cleaned from porous materials that hold contamination and need removal.
Cleaning includes washing, disinfecting, and odor control. Drying follows because moisture can remain below flooring, inside walls, or beneath cabinets.
Sewage cleanup differs from ordinary water removal. Contaminated water requires protective clothing, controlled work areas, and steps that reduce cross-contamination.
What to Expect From Our Sewage Removal and Cleanup Process
Our technicians are Certified IICRC Techs and follow a measured restoration process. We check affected materials instead of judging dryness by touch alone.
Our Quick 1-Hr Local Response starts the inspection and safety planning process for urgent sewage cleanup needs.
You receive clear information about affected areas, removed materials, drying work, and tasks for a plumber or other trade.
- Safety check: Keep people and pets away while we inspect the area. We identify immediate safety concerns before work begins.
- Find the source: We locate the wastewater source and explain whether a plumber, utility, or other trade must stop it.
- Control the area: Protective equipment and work controls help limit contact with contaminated water and dirty materials.
- Remove wastewater: We remove standing water and wastewater. We bag and remove porous items that can't be safely cleaned.
- Clean surfaces: We clean, disinfect, and treat affected areas for odor. Clean spaces stay separate from affected spaces.
- Dry materials: Air movement and drying equipment reduce moisture in floors, walls, and other building materials. We check progress before equipment leaves.
What Our Customers Say
“Our upstairs bathroom line let go around two in the morning and water was coming through the kitchen ceiling. I called expecting to leave a voicemail and someone actually picked up. The crew was at the house in under an hour with fans and a pump. They walked me through what they were doing instead of just working around me, and by the third day everything read dry.”

Commercial Sewage and Wastewater Cleanup
Commercial sewage cleanup requires careful scheduling and access planning. We work around occupied areas, protect clean spaces, and help keep essential operations moving.
Offices, stores, healthcare properties, schools, and multifamily buildings may involve shared plumbing, elevators, hallways, or tenant spaces. We plan removal and drying routes to limit disruption.
Estimated Sewage Cleanup Pricing
These ranges are a starting point. Price changes with the size of the loss, what got damaged, and the work needed to clean or dry it.
- Small project: $1,000–$3,500+
- Moderate project: $5,000–$10,500
- Large project: $10,500+
These are estimates, not quotes. We need to see the damage before we can give you a full price. An onsite inspection shows us the size of the loss and what needs to be cleaned, removed, or dried.
Working With Insurance
Keep photos, damaged-item notes, service records, and cleanup documents together. We can provide project information for your insurance discussion, but your insurer determines coverage and payment.
We often work with insurers such as USAA, Travelers, and State Farm.
We can document the damage and the work we do. We can’t decide what your policy covers. Ask your carrier or adjuster about coverage.

Sewage and Sewer Backup Cleanup FAQs
What should I do before sewage cleanup begins?
Keep everyone and all pets out of the affected area. Do not walk through wastewater, touch contaminated items, or run fans that spread droplets.
Can I clean sewage with household products?
Household cleaning alone isn't enough for a sewage backup. Contaminated water needs controlled removal, proper disinfection, and safe handling of porous materials.
Will you remove the sewage source?
We remove wastewater and clean the affected area, but a plumber usually repairs broken sewer lines, failed toilets, or plumbing leaks.
Can carpet and drywall be saved after a sewage backup?
Some materials can be removed and cleaned, but porous items often hold contamination and need removal. We inspect each material before deciding.
How long does sewage cleanup take?
The time depends on the wastewater amount, affected materials, access, and drying progress. We explain the work after inspecting your building.
